TGSF invites all community members, including first-time participants, to attend this glittering affair. Previous Cotillions have attracted visitors from all over the Bay Area, California, and indeed as far as Ireland and Indonesia. A panel of judges representing the diversity of the community selects Mr. LSS and Ms. TGSF during the event. A star-studded celebrity cast adds glamour and style to the show.
The Cotillion occurs every winter, and TGSF works diligently throughout the year to bring the best event possible to fruition.
We welcome all to participate, interact, or simply be entertained. The Cotillion is a gift to the community we all share.

2010 Cotillion is canceled. If you bought a ticket already, you will be refunded.

Contestant Application
Are you interested in representing your brothers and sisters in the TG community? If so, maybe you should consider running for Mr. LSS or Ms. TGSF 2010. Mr. LSS and Ms. TGSF are the visible representatives of LSS / TGSF and the entire transgender community and it is a wonderful way to give back to your community.
However you will find, if you compete, that you get far more out of it than you can ever give back. You will build camaraderie with the other contestants that transcends the norm. You will build friendships that will last a lifetime.
If you think this might be for you, download the application forms.
